Reason why Meghan Markle's £18m podcast deal was axed by Spotify revealed

The reason for Meghan Markle's podcast being dropped from Spotify has now been uncovered. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex previously signed a £18million deal with the platform under their production company Archwell Audio.

The exclusive deal saw Spotify secure Markle's audio series named Archetypes and is considered one of the biggest agreements in podcast history. However, it was recently announced that Harry and Meghan had reached a "mutual agreement" with the streaming giant to axe the deal after just one season of the show.

While speculations have been made as to why Spotify cut ties with the royal couple, it now appears to be due the company's decision to cut costs after "overinvesting", the Mirror reports.
